Someone else mentioned on d at p.i that it was a problem of packaging the
dependencies now?

The hardest part I've found is compiling the gstreamer deps, however
it looks like there's rpm's of these floating around somewhere?

couple of minor gstreamer bugs that are outside the scope of pidgin
(but I'm sure will be reported in trac anyway) eg the volume levels
during calls are wildly out, and using speex sounds weird (tis better
to disable it).  Oh, haven't successfully got video calling with gmail
working yet... something to do with the gstreamer-ffmpeg plugin but I
haven't been able to debug since every time I run Pidgin through gdb
there's some weird memory corruption.
Otherwise, I've been using the builds of pidgin-vv/glib/gstreamer from
http://pidgin.im/~nosnilmot/mingw32/ without any troubles - just
disabled the ffmpeg and speex plugins.

It'd be great to see -vv in 2.7.0 :)
